Students in addition to having access through Google Docs, can download the flexbook as an .odt, .pdf, .rtf, .doc, text, or html file giving them flexibility to use the document how they would like. Students can also choose whether they would like to read the flexbook digitally or print and read it on paper.\r\n\r\nThe flexbook is divided into 13 chapters with sections and subsections. These are numbered in such a way that the first number represents the chapter. A period separates the chapter from the section number, and another period is followed by the subsection number. The figures are non-copyrighted figures or I have made them myself in PowerPoint. The flexbook also contains links to articles, videos, and animations in Web Link boxes. These can be clicked to open the link, and urls for these resources are also provided at the end of the section or subsection.\r\n\r\nI am happy to share the flexbook and PowerPoint slides that I use for class with other instructors teaching similar courses. Please email me and we can get something arranged. I hope eventually this flexbook, or something similar, will become a collaborative project.\r\n<div><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2569\/2017\/10\/27165333\/100002010000005C0000002AAA23F2F9.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/leaf?id=0ByOHn1XKLsxbNWM2MGE3M2UtOTc4MC00N2RlLTgxY2UtYjY1NzExYTU3Y2I3&amp;hl=en\"><u>Brian Lindshield<\/u><\/a> allows others to distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon this work, even commercially, as long as attribute this resource.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s a citation to use for this purpose, but if this doesn\u2019t work for your purpose, please cite the url which is also provided below.\r\n\r\nCitation:\r\n\r\nLindshield, B.

Ideally on-campus students take the course during the spring semester of their sophomore year. Most on-campus students in the class are majoring in Nutritional Sciences, Nutrition and Health (previously Public Health Nutrition), Nutrition and Kinesiology, Athletic Training, or Dietetics. There is an increasing number of Biology, Life Sciences and other majors taking the course. Online, more students are nontraditional and a little more than half are distance dietetics students (K-State offers a distance dietetics degree).\r\n\r\n<h3>About the Author\/Instructor<\/h3>\r\n\r\nBrian Lindshield, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Food, Nutrition, Dietetics and Health. He received an A.S. from Pratt Community College in \u201901, a B.S. in Human Nutrition from Kansas State University in \u201903, and Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in \u201908.\r\n\r\n<h3>Peer-reviewed flexbook\/OER journal articles<\/h3>\r\n\r\nLindshield, B.L., Adhikari, K.
